Just outside the L'Enfant Plaza Metro stop (on the Maryland Ave side), you'll know you're in the right place by the crowds of Federal office workers queuing up for their favorite truck. There's a great variety from southern soul food to barbeque, from pho and banh-mi to Indonesion, from Philly cheese steaks to gyros. My daughters each had beef pho from the Pho-Nation and Vietnamese Food trucks (piping hot flavorful broth, plenty of noodles, slices of tender beef, cilantro, and accompanied with hot sauce and lime wedges on the side); my wife had the falafel salad from the Quick Bites truck which was outstandingly tasty and light, made with a chickpea and fava bean combination with a herb blend that gave them a unique green color on the inside; while I had the gyro platter from the same truck. Excellent lamb meat, well-seasoned, good tzatziki sauce, and accompanied by a fresh salad and stewed chickpeas. About $9 each for these meals and the trucks take credit cards. Don't settle for the tourist trap food trucks lined up near the Smithsonian museums -- these are terrible with microwaved pizza slices and hot dogs only ... make the short walk to these real food trucks and you won't be disappointed.

Now that's my kind of place. I also appreciated their generous spirit b/c when a homeless woman asked for $1- the gentleman in the truck gave her a plate of chicken and rice. That's my kind of business.

Food trucks are a huge part of Washington D.C. so I was eagerly anticipating trying one out. There…read moreare sooo many to choose from but I was feeling seafood so I came over here. They didn't have the first thing I asked for off of their menu (crabcake I think but I can't remember for certain.) Anyway I ended up going with fish and chips. Let's take a closer look... Fish And Chips What Is It: Classic British dish consisting of 2 big fried fish pieces and fries or chips depending on what you choose to call them. Presentation: Pretty basic as you would expect from a food truck but the food part looks like proper fish and chips. 7 out of 10 Taste/Final Analysis: This was as fine of an example of fish and chips as I've ever had. The fish was flaky and delicious and didn't even require tartar sauce which is really saying something. The chips/fries were seasoned nicely and they had a bottle of a sweet/tangy type of sauce that was awesome and made me return for an extra squirt. If you are on food truck row and are feeling some good seafood come on over over like I did. You sure won't regret it. 10 out of 10

I had more of a 3 star experience, but I'm going to give it a 4 "off the strength."…read more Pros: -Cook of the fish, great batter and texture -hand-cut fries, literally cut right in the truck -good portion size -cook to order Cons: -wait time (grab a snickers...and maybe a novel) -fries could have been cooked for 2 minutes longer Tip: Use the seasonings because the flavoring isn't bold by default. Customer service: Relatively solid. I mentioned the wait times, but I did see the cook give a couple of guys some Sunkist sodas for their wait. Now, we all know that no one drinks Sunkist, but something is better than nothing.

Started as a food truck in 2009 by a Mexican immigrant and his neighbor, slinging Yucatán-inspired grub that blew up into a chain.

The Fish Taco Deluxe gets massive love crispy grilled Alaska pollock, fresh toppings, homemade salsa on warm tortillas. Pollo asado and carnitas run close seconds, but fish wins the crowd.

It was raining so we set inside but there's not a lot of room and the place wasn't clean. The trash cans were overflowing which was a little gross.

It was heavenly. I ended up ordering the honey spicy chicken sub and my friend got the avocado chicken sub. To be fair, there was no avocado in the sandwich, but the sauce was delicious regardless. I made mine a meal and got water and fries with it. The fries were pretty average, but the chicken sandwich was amazing and the cool water bottle was exactly what I needed on the hot day.

DO NOT EAT HERE!!! This is the worst tacos and service I've ever had!!!…read more First I ordered tacos to go (2 orders), the order is suppose to be $9.99 each. They charge us over $35 dollars for the tacos and chips and salsa (other trucks give it for free) plus they didn't even have lime (who eat tacos without lime?). Also they just gave me a little paper plate with the tacos when I specified them more than once I wanted them to go. Really bad customer service and low food quality.

Go to the food trucks area and around lunchtime you'll see a line of people waiting for their food! Among all the food trucks this one was the busiest and with good reason!

It has enough acid, sweetness and umami to be balanced! The shrimp, noodles and bean sprouts were fresh! There is a wait for your food because it is made to order! There was only one cook and one friendly guy at the counter who knew all the office workers who come seeking them out! My big ol' belly is very happy after eating their food! I highly recommend this food truck!

The Crunchy Boi is served on a 10 inch roll with turkey, lettuce, onions, pickles, chips and garlic mayo. I thought the sandwich was pretty good.

I've ordered sandwiches from here a few times from now and I can't say that I love them…read more When it comes to subs and sandwiches everyone has different preferences. For me it comes down to fresh breads, quality ingredients, thoughtful assembly and one of the most important for me ... balanced ratio of ingredients. Each time I've ordered, the ratio of ingredients has been what has thrown me off. The subs are large and the bread is fresh, but between the massive amounts of shredded lettuce and the thickness of the bread, the meat on my turkey sandwich gets swallowed alive to where I'm constantly opening it up to look for and re-adjust. The ingredients though do seem fresh, so it's not a matter of never trying other sandwiches in the future. I just haven't found one yet that would be worth a repeat...so it's not that there is not potential.
